After submerging my DSC T7 under water with the use of the proper water casing Cyber-shot SPK-THA, the control buttons to the left of the viewing screen and the focus control on top started malfunctioning. I pulled out the battery and memory card and tilted the camera such that the opening for the battery slot is facing downward thinking that if water permeated the casing, it would dry out. It worked for a while but returned to the original problem. The menu button works though but I couldn't do

Hi there, I was taking photos with a 3 years old canon ixus 70 and suddenly the screen became black!! from then taking picture was impossible it comes out black too. All the menu buttons work properly, battery is full, sim card is correctly installed, video sound works but no images. This camera hasn't never been dropped and the lens looks pretty good. It doesn't come from the DISP. button because I first thought it was coming from this one but finally not... Any idea, ever heard about that prob

Pentax, 12megapixels (7.9mm, 23.7mm). camera turns on and will take a picture, but i cannot then preview the picture and the orange light next to the LED viewing screen will continue to blink. At this point, no other buttons work (for example, i can't pull up the menu or zoom the lens), its just frozen. holding down the "on" button will turn the camera off, but nothing gets solved.

Nikon d80 - most of the time memory card access lamp flashes and shutter release button doesn't trigger shutter. Sometimes it will stop blinking and camera will fire. Sometimes when it fires it will not show a preview image. When malfunctioning I can not bring up menu screen or access any features (shutter speed, f-top, or review screen. Have tried different memory cards, and lenses with no change.

Hi pantha. Turn it on and go into the menu and find the reset function. Reset it. This will merely set it at all of the parameters it was set at in the factory. IF this reset does not solve ALL of the problems, then you will have to take it or sh ...

Hard reset of Nikon s8100? My menu button isn't working at all. The only one that is working is the round scene-selector button on top...and even that one stops working after I press the shutter button (which doesn't respond either). I've tried removing the battery for a few hours and replacing it, but that didn't help. Is there a way to remove the backup battery as well? Is there a button or a trick to doing a "hard reset" without having to use the menu??

Hi.
I have a Canon Xsi/450D Camera. I can access the menu funtions when in the preset modes eg. landscape, sports etc. but when i rotate the dial past the Auto mode into the manual settings modes(the creative zone as canon calls them) the menu funtion will not work.

So I just got the Fujifilm Finepix XP60 Series, it's working fine and all but whenever I press the playback button it blacks out. Sometimes it works but most times I have to try over and over again for it to work. For example I take a few pics and I press the playback button. First you see the little pink squares then it blacks out. I press the flash button on top for the screen to go back to taking pictures. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Another example would be when it's off and I p

Sd110 lcd My LCD did not work, canon repaired it....GREAT! but 2 weeks later it died. It was blank so I send it back and canon says they want money to fix. Damn.. It still takes photos with no problem. I cannot access any functions because the LCD won't work. I've tried the Display button and got the black and white screen of death.

My Olympus STYLUS TOUGH 8010's buttons are not working. The top button to turn on and take pictures are working fine but the menu buttons all on that side are not responding. How do I fix it? Is it on a weird setting?

I have a Canon Rebel Xt that occasionally has problems with the shutter button suddenly not working. The camera is still on and all the menu buttons continue to work. It acts like the lens decides to quit communicating with the camera body. The only fix I have found is to take the battery out for 10-15 sec. and it works like normal. Any advise on whats going on would be great, Thanks Brandon

Canon SD900 selection options not responsive.
The selector wheel, Function Set button and menu selector only work from time to time. Even if pressing the ring brings up info to the LCD, nothing can be changed because the Function Button and the Menu button are not active. This is a random problem. Sometime, I can bring all functions back to life by removing and re-inserting the battery and restarting.

Sounds like the board has become damp and possibly corroded in certain parts this causing the random effect with the buttons their isnt much you can do unless you can remove the case yourself and give it a good clean but doing this is extremely diffi ...

Sony camera turns on but screen is just bright white, can't see the images I'm taking or the menu. I can press the menu buttons and can tell that the buttons work because I hear the beeping noise. But I can't see anything. I also try to take pictures and I don't think it is taking any pictures because when I plug the camera into the computer nothing new shows up on the memory stick.
